The temple has been converted into a makeshift hospital for refugees of the attack but has now fallen under the control of the Raiders, a powerful street gang who have been using the chaos in Tokyo created by the attack to loot and expand their power. It is revealed that one month ago Tokyo was rocked by a massive chemical weapons attack using the chemical weapons from the mission in Venice, with the entire city now on lockdown. The campaign continues one month later, with Phoenix waking up in a hospital gown in Rinnoji Temple, Japan.

Phoenix also reveals that Gilman has become aware of his prying around into their business and blackmailed him into signing off on the mission report by threatening harm against his daughter Lily. Next, Phoenix tries to convince Roux that the WLA attack on Venice was actually a cover-up orchestrated by Gilman Security themselves for something greater, but Roux is reluctant to believe him.

His teammate was Jonathan Taylor ('Bull'), a former US Special Forces operative dismissed under suspicion of selling classified weapons and information to terrorist groups. Cayden Phoenix (a minor character in Modern Combat 4), a former US Marine now freelancing as a private military contractor for Gilman Security corporation, had been sent on a mission when World Liberation Army (WLA) had launched a surprise attack on Venice, Italy to steal chemical weapons secretly stashed in Venice by the United Nations, followed by a cyber-attack on several Asian networks a week after. The World Liberation Army, a terrorist organization, had attacked Venice to steal chemical weapons held by the United Nations.
